JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Levi Eshkol, Israel Minister of Fi- nance issued a statement taking issue with Henry Morgenthau, Jr., chairman of the board of governors of the Israel Bond Organization in the United States, who suggested that the Histadrut in Israel "get out of private business." Mr. Morgen- thau spoke at the National Economic Conference for Israel in Washington. "The remarks made by my friend Henry Morgenthau at the Israel bond conference in Wash- ington in connection with the function and role of the Hista- drut in Israel economy—as re- ported in the press—have arous- ed considerable astonishment," the statement declared. "Every- one familiar with the economic and social life of the country is fully aware of the great pioneer- ing role of the Histadrut in every branch of colonization, economic activity, security and development of the country." "The present economic stand- ing a n d achievement of the country would have been incon- ceivable without the splendid pioneering activity of the work- ers' movement throughout the entire generation. Israel expects that this pioneering movement will continue in the future with its 'activities in all fields and on all fronts of the economic upbuilding in Israel, side by side with all other constructive forces of the state and Jewish people. "The task of upbuilding the country and its economy is tre- mendous. It cannot dispense with any constructive force which is capable of contributing its enterprising power and abil- ity. Everyone is entitled to the full benefits—while at the same time obliged to fulfill all duties —of the system of freedom of enterprise and equality of op- portunity which characterizes the economic life of Israel. "It is hard to conceive that Mr. Morgenthau intends to question these principles," Mr. Eshkol concluded in his statement. Goldenberg Makes Denial NEW YORK, (JTA)—Harold J. Goldenberg, one of the speakers at the National Economic Con- ference for Israel in Washing- ton, issued a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency de- Guide Lists Colleges Recognizing Hebrew More than 1,400 American colleges and universities in 48 states, Alaska and Haiwaii, which accept the Hebrew lan- guage for admission purposes, are listed in an 80 page booklet distributed by the New York City Board of Education to the principals of senior and junior high school throughout the city. The booklet, titled "Hebrew for College Entrance", edited by Judah Lapson, was published here by the Hebrew Culture Service Committe for American high schools throughout the city. The booklet was accompanied by a letter to high school prin- cipals `signed by C. Frederick Pertsch, Associate Superinten- dent of Schools in charge of Academic and Vocational High Schools and Elias Lieberman, Associate Superintendent in charge of Junior High Schools. Their letter notes that the question has frequently arisen in connection with the study of Hebrew, as to whether that lan- guage is acceptable as a college entrance requirement. "Hebrew for College Entrance" is intend- ed to answer this question and to provide a guide for college councillors in the schools. The Hebrew Culture Service Committee, which published the guide, is a non-profit organ- ization whose object is to in- Crease the knowledge and ap- preciation of the Hebrew lan- guage and culture in American education. Its founder and chairman was the late Hayim Greenberg, edi- tor, • writer and head of the World Zionist Organization's De- partment of Education and Cul- ture. Judah Lapson, editor of the booklet, is acting chairman at the committee. nying that in his speech he took issue with Mr. Morgenthau over the latter's remark on the Hista- drut.. "I was called up to report on general investment activities in the country," Mr. Goldenberg said. - In the course of my ad- dress, I referred to the work being done by Histadrut organ- izations. I made no comment on, and intended no criticism of, the passing reference to Hista- drut made the night before by Mr. Henry Morgenthau, Jr. I be- lieve Mr. Morgenthau has ren- dered sufficient service to both Israel and the Jewish commun- ity generally to be able to ex- press himself freely on any sub- ject." Lag in UIA Funds Expenditures of United Israel Appeal agencies for their immi- grant rehabilitation and re- settlement program are almost one-third—or about $22,000,000— behind the budgetary needs for the first eight months of this year, Rudolf G. Sonneborn, UIA national chairman, said here. "This lag has been one of the primary causes in the slowing down of immigrant resettle- ment, in the protein-poor diet of newcomers and in the cur- tailment of housing projects." Mr. Sonneborn said. He disclosed these facts in a report to the executive committee. Investment in Housing Considerable building for American investors and for ma- jor American Jewish organiza- tions is being done in Israel by Rassco, a rural and suburban settlement company in Tel Aviv, it was reported at a reception given by the Jewish Agency in honor of Dr. Yeshayahu Foerder, managing director of Rassco, a member of Israel Parliament. Mr. Foerder, who was greeted by Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chair- man of the Jewish Agency, said that his company has invested 12,000,000 Israeli pounds during the current fiscal year in hous-' ing and new settlements. Discussing the general econ- omic situation in Israel, Dr. Foerder stated that the decrease in Israel's foreign currency in- debtedness and the increase in agricultural production consti- tute "important signs" of Israel's economic progress.
